[@horizon1780]

Wonderful and insightful video. Well done Abhishek and Upasna. This will definitely inspire lot of people who are trying to transition from a different role. Key takeaways I have got from this video- " It is never too late", "Never give up", "Follow one mentor"," Be honest with your past experience instead of faking your resume", "Do handson projects and choose relevant projects for position", "Proactively reach out to people working in your target companies" and "Become shameless in applying". Upasna's patience and consistency is inspiring. Thank you Abhishek and Upasna. God bless you.

Waching this at 2:00am IST, I feel so inspiring when ever I watch these kind of inspiring videos on youtube/linkedin at night. I literally feel that I will have to start concentrating & be consistent in learning to enhance my skills. Next day when I woke up I do so the same routine work and be cool😢 And at nights I feel low for not implementing and will continue to postpone and this continues for years and years😅 Do any one of you are also in the same situation currently??? If yes, Do you guys have a plan or idea to overcome this?

It very much happens with lot of people. I would suggest you start with small and consistent steps. Put conscious effort to follow your plan of executing small steps. Once it become habit add more and bigger things to your plan. Wish you all the best.
